    Bike recommendations

    One Knife and 6 Months In The Wild - What is your choice?

    All interesting stuff thanks. What about water supplies to the more remote villages like these. Is the infrastructure quite strong or susceptible to failure? What are your day to day fuel sources, would you be forced to improvise?

    One Knife and 6 Months In The Wild - What is your choice?

    He was a good man. And survived monte-casino so had a bit of experience. But im guessing that advice was quite a standard in his day as ive heard a few variations since . Still glad he drummed it into me though.
